Equal In God's Eye

REFRAIN What does sets us above the pack; the throng, the herd the mob? And, do all these most righteous things bring us nearer to our God? Does walking upright, head held high give clear sight from aloft thus showing those who walk on four as merely God's cast offs? What does sets us above the pack; the throng, the herd the mob? And, do all these most righteous things bring us nearer to our God? Do denizens of air and sea fall farther from God's grace, And, are the golden buzzing bees so damned to be erased? What does sets us above the pack; the throng, the herd the mob? And, do all these most righteous things bring us nearer to our God? Or, will we find on judgment day bound to, entombed surprised when we realize all God's creations are equal in His eyes.

It is God's grace upon our face that answers all these questions. When little lambs and puppy dogs beguile us with their charm. How could we think of doing them the slightest bit of harm. I know this got a little off the track, but all God's creatures deserve concideration and respect. Even rats. :) I guess. :) Great poem Debbie, wonderful reminder to be kind.

Hi Equal in God's Eyes conveys a wellness that lives within.. "golden buzzing bees seems almost fairytale-like. This is one to read more than once! Thx, Jan

This is a great message, Debs. I like how you did it as a ballad. That form has such a quality about it. The repetition lets one's thoughts sink in.

Its SIN-dee. Hi! I especially like the last stanza. Ends just as it should, strong. I finished my short story for the paper and hope to get back into writing and reading tomorrow. We had a lovely day out- preschool, library, restaurant, and a free outdoor concert, Santa in a sleigh and dancing around the tree. PLUS my girl is having no. 2 potty success FINALLY. We are having a potty party tomorrow. (Yeah. I'm weird. A loving weirdo mother. LOL) I'll go back to Dee in a day or two. :) xox
